INTRODUCTION. 


At  a  meeting  of  the  Executive  Committee  of  the  Springfield  High 
School  Alumni  in  the  spring  of  1901,  the  question  was  asked  by  one 
of  the  members,  "How  many  graduates  are  there  of  the  High  School, 
and  where  are  they  located?" 

The  first  part  of  the  question — how  many  graduates  are  there — 
was  easily  answered  by  referring  to  the  records  of  the  Board  of  Edu- 
cation. The  number  of  these  graduates  who  are  still  living  and 
their  location,  not  being  a  matter  of  record,  the  latter  part  of  the 
question  could  not  be  answered. 

The  question  was  then  discussed  of  obtaining  information  as 
to  the  whereabouts  of  the  graduates  of  the  school  and  publishing 
it  in  book  form,  together  with  the  business  they  are  engaged  in  and 
their  callings  in  life.  Out  of  this  discussion  has  grown  this  Histori- 
cal Souvenir. 

Mr.  I.  E.  Diller,  of  the  class  of  1871,  President  of  the  High 
7  School  Alumni,  was  authorized  to  take  charge  of  the  work.     Mr. 
y  Diller  selected  Mr.   F.   C.  Dodds,  of  the  class  of   1881,  and  Miss 
Marcia  B.  Odam,  of  the  class  of  1891,  to  assist  him. 

The  committee  entered  at  once  upon  the  work  of  collecting  the 

necessary  data  and  putting  it  in  shape  for  publication.     This  task 

^^^  proved  to  be  one  of  large  proportions.     The  committee  found  at  the 

^^__outset  that  the  1,200  graduates  of  the  Springfield  High  School  are 

K,  5r-  scattered  all  over  the  United  States,  and  that  to  obtain  any  sort  of 

«=i  reliable  information  as  to  their  exact  location  and  calling  in  life 

^  would  require  much  more  time  than  it  had  thought  would  be  neces- 

g  sary  to  compile'  the  Souvenir.     When  the  work  was  commenced  it 

">-  was  the  intention  of  the  committee  to  have  the  Souvenir  ready  for 

Qi  distribution  at  the  x4.1umni  Reunion  in  June,  1901.     This,  however, 

Qwas  found  to  be  out  of  the  question,  and  the  efEorts  of  the  committee 

jwere  directed  to  the  end  of  having  their  work  completed  and  ready 

.      \for  the  Reunion  in  1902. 

iNi  °i         The  work  of  collecting  the  data  published  herewith  was  beset 
with  many  difficulties  and  delays.     A  vast  amount  of  correspondence 


4  Sprixgfield  High  School. 

was  necessary  to  definitely  locate  those  who  are  living  in  other  cities 
and  States.  The  committee  regrets  that  it  was  unable  to  get  but 
meager  information  with  respect  to  many  who  have  graduated  from 
the  High  School.  It  realizes,  too,  that  its  work  is  not  perfect  and 
complete.  That  there  are  errors  in  the  Souvenir,  it  does  not  doubt, 
it  being  necessary  in  many  cases  to  accept  unofficial  data  Avhich  it 
had  no  means  of  verifying.  It  feels,  however,  that  it  has  laid  the 
foundation  for  future  publications,  and  that  with  the  material  here 
presented  the  future  historian  of  the  graduates  of  the  Springfield 
High  School  will  be  enabled  to  prosecute  his  work  much  more  ex- 
tensively and  with  less  difficulty  and  delay  than  it  has  liad  to  con- 
tend with. 

Volumes  could  be  written  about  the  many  good  men  and  women 
who  go  to  make  up  the  Alumni  of  the  High  School.  The  committee, 
however,  has  not  gone  into  details  concerning  their  life  work. 

It  was  thought  that  the  reproduction  of  the  program  of  the 
Commencement  Exercises  of  the  various  classes  would  be  of  interest 
to  the  readers  of  the  Souvenir.  All  of  these  programs  are  not  a 
matter  of  record  and  it  was  necessary  to  resort  to  the  files  of  news- 
papers for  copies  of  them.  They  are  reproduced  just  as  they  ap- 
peared in  the  public  press  at  the  time.  Following  the  program  is  a 
list  of  the  graduates  in  each  class. 

The  committee  desires  to  thank  all  who  have  so  kindly  assisted 
it  in  its  work  and  those  who  have  contributed  the  funds  which  made 
the  publication  of  this  Souvenir  possible.

Springfield  High  School. 


The  first  school  iu  Springfield  was  opened  in  1821,  three  years 
after  the  first  settlement,  and  was  taught  by  Mr.  Andrew  Orr.  Dur- 
ing the  thirty  years  that  followed,  private  schools  were  conducted  to 
which  pupils  were  admitted  upon  pa}-ment  of  tuition,  the  most 
prominent  of  which  was  the  Academy,  incorporated  in  1839 ;  but 
it  was  not  until  the  year  1854  that  steps  were  taken  to  establish  free 
public  schools.  By  an  amended  charter,  approved  March  '2,  1854, 
the  city  was  organized  as  the  "Springfield  School  District,"'  and  the 
City  Council  authorized  to  establish  and  maintain  free  schools  for 
the  education  of  all  wliite  persons  between  the  ages  of  five  and 
twenty-one  years  of  age;  and  to  appoint  seven  Inspectors,  to  be  de- 
nominated as  the  Board  of  School  Inspectors,  and  to  prescribe  their 
duties.  In  accordance  with  this  charter,  an  ordinance  was  passed 
August  21,  1854,  defining  the  powers  of  the  Board  and  dividing  the 
city  into  four  sub-districts,  corresponding  to  the  wards  of  the  city. 
A  lot  in  each  Avard  had  already  been  purchased  for  school  purposes. 
Buildings  in  the  First  and  Third  wards  were  completed  in  the  spring 
of  185(>,  and  were  immediately  opened  for  the  admission  of  pupils. 
Very  soon  thereafter,  these  buildings  could  not  accommodate  all  the 
pupils,  and  public  schools  were  opened  in  the  First  Baptist  and  First 
Presbvterian  Cliurches.  School  buildings  were  erected  in  the  Second 
and  Fourth  wards  at  a  cost  of  $10,000  each,  and  were  opened  in  Sep- 
tember, 1858. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Board  of  Inspectors  held  July  20,  1857,  the 
Committee  on  Examination  of  Teachers  was  instructed  to  inquire 
into  the  expediency  of  revising  the  course  of  study  pursued  in  the 
schools.  The  members  of  this  Board,  at  that  time,  were :  Jolm  W. 
Priest,  President;  E.  Baker,  Secretary;  Isaac  S.  Britton,  J.  ^Marvin, 
Charles  E.  Dodge,  John  A.  McClernand,  and  J.  S,  Yredenburgh. 
The  report  of  this  committee,  covering  nearly  eight  ledger  pages 
of  the  record,  closely  written,  was  presented  July  27,  and  was  signed 
bv  Isaac  S.  Britton,  Chas.  E.  Dodge,  and  J.  Marvin.     Already  certain 


6  Springfield  High  School. 

higher  English  branches  were  taught  in  the  ward  schools.  This 
committee  in  the  report  advised  that  these  higher  branches,  be 
stricken  from  the  course,  and  "that  a  separate  and  independent  de- 
partment be  organized,  to  be  called  'The  Department  of  Science," 
which  should  include  Xatural  Philosophy,  Physical  Geography, 
Elements  of  Algebra,  Physiology  and  Hj^giene,  General  Exercises  in 
the  Elements  of  Elocution  and  in  Composition,  and  the  Grammar 
of  Composition  and  Declamation;  and  that  this  department  be 
placed  in  charge  of  a  male  preceptor  to  receive  a  salary  of  $500  a 
year,  and  that  this  department  for  the  present  occupy  a  room  on  the 
second  floor  of  the  Third  Ward  School  Building." 

This  committee,  at  the  end  of  the  lengthy  report,  summarized 
its  recommendations  in  eight  resolutions,  the  fifth  one  containing 
the  recommendation  of  a  "Department  of  Science." 

When  presented  to  the  Board,  Mr.  John  A.  McClernand  moved 
to  amend  by  striking  out  the  fifth  resolution  and  that  part  of  the 
report  relating  to  the  establishing  of  a  "Department  of  Science," 
and  insert  the  following: 

"Resolved,  That  a  Central  or  High  School  be  established  with 
such  riiles,  regulations  and  course  of  study  as  hereafter  may  be 
adopted,  to  be  taught  by  a  competent  teacher  hereafter  to  be  selected, 
said  school  to  be  taught  in  some  central  and  convenient  building." 

Upon  the  vote,  a  division  was  called  for  and  five  members  were 
recorded  as  voting  for  the  amendment  and  two  against  it.  The  re- 
port, as  amended,  was  then  unanimously  adopted.  This  was  the 
first  official  action  relating  to  the  establishment  of  a  free  High  School 
in  the  City  of  Springfield. 

At  a  meeting  of  the  Board  held  August  24,  1857,  Mr.  McClernand 
of  the  committee  appointed  to  recommend  studies  for  the  High 
School,  made  this  report:  "The  committee  charged  with  the  duty 
of  selecting  and  reporting  the  course  of  studies  to  be  pursued  in  the 
Central  High  School,  respectfully  report :  That  they  have  diligently 
considered  the  important  subject  referred  to  them,  and,  as  a  result 
of  their  deliberations,  recommend  the  following  studies : 

For  the  male  pupils,  Natural  Philosophy,  Moral  Philosophy, 
Political  Economy,  Surveying,  and  Bookkeeping. 

For  the  female  pupils,  The  same  studies,  with  the  substitution 
of  Botany  and  Physiology  for  Surveying  and  Bookkeeping. 

This  report  before  adoption,  was  amended  to  include  Algebra, 
and  Geometry,  and  a  review  of  Grammar,  Geography  and  Arithmetic. 

At  a  meeting  held  September  8,  Mr.  Beaumont  Parks  was  elected 


Alumni  Association.  7 

as  the  first  Principal  of  the  High  School,  for  the  ensuing  year,  Mr. 
Chas.  D.  Arnold  serving  as  assistant  Principal. 

The  school  was  opened  in  a  small  building  in  the  Third  ward, 
on  .Market  street,  now  known  as  Capitol  avenue,  just  west  of  Spring 
street.  JSTo  record  of  the  attendance  of  this  first  year  of  the  High 
School  can  be  found. 

As  the  building  in  which  this  school  was  taught  the  first  year 
was  small  and  not  centrally  located,  it  was  transferred  to  the  Fourth 
ward  building,  just  completed,  now  known  as  the  Lincoln  school, 
and  Mr.  Andrew  M.  Brooks  was  made  the  principal  of  both  the 
Fourth  ward  school  and  the  High  School.  Forty-two  pupils  were 
enrolled  the  second  year. 

In  December,  1858,  the  course  of  study  was  revised,  a  number 
of  branches  added,  and  a  classical  course  provided  for,  includ- 
ing Latin  and  Greek,  which  was  designed  for  those  preparing 
to  enter  college.  In  September,  1859,  tuition  in  the  High  School 
for  pupils  living  outside  the  city,  was  fixed  at  $21  a  year.  At  the 
same  meeting,  as  provided  for  in  a  resolution  passed  at  a  former 
meeting,  Miss  Sophia  Chapin  was  elected  as  female  assistant,  Mr. 
Geo.  Tourtellot  having  already  been  elected  Principal. 

At  the  beginning  of  the  third  3^ear,  the  school  was  located  in  the 
Academy  Building,  situated  on  South  Fifth  street,  a  short  distance 
south  of  Monroe,  this  building  having  been  procured  by  the  City 
Council  for  this  purpose.  The  High  School  was  conducted  in  this 
place  for  six  years.  Very  soon  after  the  school  was  located  here, 
the  Board  declared  it  an  unsuitable  place,  and  began  to  petition  the 
Council  for  a  new  building. 

After  the  Council  had  decided  that  a  new  High  School  building 
should  be  erected,  it  was  several  years  before  an  agreement  upon 
the  location  of  the  site  could  be  reached.  The  records  of  the  meet- 
ings of  the  Council  during  the  several  years,  while  trying  to  select 
a  High  School  site,  make  interesting  reading.  The  subject  became 
an  issue  at  city  elections,  and  several' aspiring  statesmen  were  rele- 
gated to  private  life  on  account  of  their  position  on  this  important 
question.  Finally  the  site  -was  selected  at  the  southeast  corner  of 
Madison  and  Fourth  streets,  and  in  1865  a  new  building  was  com- 
pleted at  a  cost  of  $65,000.  The  erection  of  this  new  building  which 
was  one  of  the  best  for  educational  purposes  in  the  State  at  that

time,  and  its  occupancy  by  the  school  transferred  from  the  "Academy'* 
huilding,  mark  tlie  beginning]:  of  a  new  and  important  era  in  the 
liistor}'  of  this  institution. 

The  school  was  conducted  in  this  building  for  almost  a  third 
of  a  century,  and  here  a  large  number  of  the  boys  and  girls  of  the 
city,  as  well  as  many  from  the  surrounding  country,  received  their 
academic  training.  The  people  of  the  city  were  proud  of  this  in- 
stitution and  gave  it  hearty  support.  Connected  with  its  history, 
during  these  years,  are  interesting  associations  which  many  of  the 
older  citizens,  their  children,  and  in  some  instances,  their  grand- 
children, deliglit  to  cherish  in  their  memories.  Thirty-three  classes 
completed  their  High  School  studies  in  this  building,  the  members 
of  which  received  their  diplomas  at  the  annual  commencements,  which 
Avere  great  occasions  for  those  interested  in  the  High  School,  and 
are  now  recorded  as  Alumni  of  the  Springfield  High  School. 

From  time  to  iinie  the  courses  of  study  were  revised  to  keep 
pace  with  educational  progress.  It  appears  that  in  the  early  years 
of  this  school  the  boys  and  girls  were  in  separate  classes,  and  that 
there  were  several  studies  prescribed  for  boys  that  girls  were  not  per- 
mitted to  take,  and  vice  versa.  The  record  shows  that  forty  years 
ago  two  Pangnnnasticons  were  purchased  and  one  placed  in  the 
male  department  and  the  other  in  the  female  department.  'J'hese 
Avere  to  be  used  in  connection  with  the  physical  training  system. 

Early  in  the  history  of  the  school,  the  value  of  a  library  was 
a])preeiated  and  a  beginning  was  made.  In  a  report  of  the  Superin- 
tendent, made  early  in  the  sixties,  he  says :  "The  library  was  in- 
creased during  the  A^ear  about  one  hundred  volumes.  The  greater 
part  of  this  addition  was  obtained  by  a  small  appropriation  made  by 
tlie  city  last  winter;  tlie  remainder  was  contributed  by  the  scholars. 
An  appropriation  for  this  purpose  should  l^e  made  every  year.  Xo 
scholar  is  allowed  to  draw  a  novel  from  the  library  whose  grade  is 
under  tA\-o  and  five-tenths,  tliree  being  the  maximum." 

Among  the  studies  required  for  several  years,  were,  Evidences  of 
Christianity,  ^Moral  P]iih-)Sophy,  and  Mental  Philosophy.  Dr. 
Samuel  Willard,  Superintendent  of  schools  in  1869-70,  suggested  that 
these  studies  were  of  doubtful  value,  and  other  more  useful  branches 
should  be  substituted  in  their  place.  He  made  these  recommenda- 
tions as  "an  orthodox  Christian  and  a  father  of  children  in  the  High 
School,"  believing  that  they  should  not  study  these  branches  until 
they  had  reached  mature  3'ears.     Dr.  Willard's  successor,  !Mr.  Ben- 


Alumni  Assoclvtion.  9 

nett,   followed   up   his   recommendations,   and   very   soon   thereafter 
these  branches  were  stricken  from  the  course  of  study. 

A  niarked  improvement  was  made  in  1883,  when  an  outline  of 
English  work  was  prepared  for  each  of  the  four  years  of  all  the 
courses,  to  be  pursued  by  all  pupils.  This  provided  for  each  year, 
in  connection  with  English  language  and  Literature,  the  study  of 
three  or  more  American  and  English  authors,  thus  affording  an 
opportunity  for  pupils  during  the  four  years'  course  to  study  quite 
thoroughly  some  of  the  best  works  of  at  least  twelve  standard 
authors.  This  advance  step,  thus  early  taken  by  the  High  School, 
and  the  excellent  work  done  1\v  the  classes,  has  been  highly  com- 
mended ])y  several  of  the  leading  universities. 

In  1887,  application  was  made  to  have  the  High  School  placed 
on  the  accredited  list  of  Michigan  University,  After  an  examina- 
tion by  a  committee  of  the  faculty  of  the  University,  a  favorable  re- 
port was  made,  and  since  that  time  graduates  from  the  Springfield 
High  School  have  been  admitted  to  the  various  courses  of  ^Michigan 
University  upon  certificates  that  the  required  studies  had  been  com- 
pleted here.  This  was  very  gratifying  to  the  friends  of  the  High 
School,  as  it  was  an  endorsement  by  one  of  the  leading  universities 
of  the  country,  of  the  efficiency  of  the  work  done  here,  and  this  was 
more  highly  appreciated  when  it  was  learned  that  this  same  com- 
mittee had  reported  unfavorably  vipon  several  of  the  larger  High 
Schools  of  the  State.  Since  this  action  was  taken  by  the  University 
of  Michigan,  graduates  of  the  High  School  have  been  admitted  upon 
certificate  to  Cornell,  Wellesley,  Vassar,  University  of  Illinois, 
University  of  Chicago,  and  other  colleges  and  universities. 

At  the  present  time,  with  the  exception  of  a  certain  amount  of 
work  in  English,  history  and  mathematics,  the  studies  are  elective. 
A  two  years'  Business  Course  has  recently  been  added.  Also  a  course 
in  manual  training  for  which  credit  is  given,  the  same  as  in  other 
branches.  There  are  excellent  facilities  for  laboratory  work  in 
Physics,  Chemistry,  and  Biology,  and  the  instruction  in  many  of  the 
ijubjects  is  given  by  specialists,  and  the  latest,  best  approved  methods 
are  used. 

The  High  School  building  completed  in  1865  and  located  at  the 
corner  of  Madison  and  Fourth  streets,  finally  became  too  small  for 
the  educational  demands  of  a  growing  city,  and,  besides,  the  location 
became  unsuitable  on  account  of  adjacent  streets  being  used  by  so 
manv  railroads,  and  the  proximity  of  manufacturing  establishments. 


10  Springfield  High  School. 

It  thus  became  necessary  to  erect  a  new  building.  The  present 
beautiful  and  commodious  structure,  located  between  Washington 
and  Adams  streets,  near  Pasfield  street,  was  completed  in  the  fall  of 
1897,  and  occupied  for  school  purposes  in  October  of  the  same  year. 

This  building,  200  feet  long  by  100  feet  wide,  with  three  stories 
above  the  basement,  was  erected  at  a  cost  of  about  $75,000,  and  has 
a  capacity  for  800  pupils.  This  is  a  very  extensive  and  complete 
building  to  be  secured  for  that  amount  of  money,  but  the  contract 
was  let  in  1896,  Avhen  building  material  could  be  secured  at  the  lowest 
prices  known  for  years. 

Four  or  five  years  ago  the  plan  of  semi-annual  promotions  was 
adopted  in  the  lower  grades  of  the  grammar  schools  and  has  been 
gradually  extended  to  the  higher  grades  until  it  has  now  reached  the 
second  year  of  the  High  School.  This  plan  provides  for  classes  a 
half  year  apart,  instead  of  a  year,  as  formerly,  and  now  pupils  are 
promoted  from  the  eighth  grade  of  the  ward  schools  to  the  High 
School  twice  a  year.  One  of  the  advantages  of  this  classification  and 
promotion,  is  that  pupils  who,  for  any  reason,  are  unable  to  advance 
with  their  classes,  may  be  placed  in  a  lower  class  without  losing  a 
year's  time  in  completing  the  course. 

In  Februarv,  1901,  a  class  of  seventv-five  from  the  ward  schools 
was  admitted  to  the  High  School,  and  will  complete  the  four  years' 
course  in  the  middle  of  the  school  year  in  1905.  Another  class  of 
about  the  same  number  was  admitted  in  February  of  the  present 
year,  1902,  and,  under  this  arrangement  classes  will  be  admitted 
regularly  twice  a  year,  in  September  and  in  February. 

Prior  to  1882,  it  was  the  custom  each  year,  just  after  the  close 
of  school  in  June,  to  require  the  eighth  grade  pupils  of  the  ward 
schools,  to  go  to  the  old  High  School  building  to  take  a  written  ex- 
amination upon  all  studies  pursued  by  eighth  grade  pupils,  for  admis- 
sion to  the  High  School.  This  was  a  momentous  occasion.  It  was 
entered  upon  by  many  of  them  with  fear  and  trembling,  because  their 
admission  to  the  High  School  depended  entirely  upon  the  result  of 
this  examination.  This  examination  had  been  in  their  minds  from 
the  day  they  had  entered  upon  the  work  of  the  eighth  grade,  and  they 
were  not  allowed  to  forget  it.  The  greater  part  of  the  instruction 
of  the  teachers  and  the  preparation  of  lessons  by  pupils,  had  this 
final  examination  in  view.  Pupils  Avere  required  to  write  two  days, 
then  their  papers  were  carefully  marked,  the  percents  of  each  pupil 
averaged  and  tabulated,  and  the  names  of  the  successful  candidates

published  in  the  daily  papers.  There  were  sometimes  many  failures, 
and,  of  course,  as  many  sad  hearts  as  there  were  pupils  who  failed. 

After  1883,  for  a  number  of  years,  these  final  examinations  were 
held  in  the  ward  schools.  Soon  after  1890  the  method  of  admission 
to  the  High  School  was  changed,  and  since  then  the  daily  work  of 
the  pupils  and  the  monthly  written  tests  have  been  made  mainly  the 
basis  of  promotion.  Those  who  make  eighty-five  percent,  or  above, 
in  any  study  during  the  year,  take  no  final  examination  in  that  study. 
A  considerable  number  are  passed  to  the  High  School  upon  this 
record.  Those  who  fail  to  make  eighty-five  percent  upon  one  or 
more  studies  are  examined  upon  these  studies,  and  their  standing 
is  made  up  from  the  term's  work  and  this  examination,  each  counting 
half.  Under  this  method,  the  recommendation  of  the  teacher  has 
much  to  do  with  the  promotion  of  pupils. 

Since  the  new  High  School  was  completed,  in  1897,  the  attend- 
ance has  increased  very  rapidly.  Many  families  from  the  surround- 
ing country  have  moved  to  the  city  for  the  sole  purpose  of  giving 
their  children  the  advantages  of  the  High  School.  Tuition  amount- 
ing to  nearly  two  thousand  dollars  is  paid  by  non-resident  pupils. 
The  enrollment  of  the  present  year  has  reached  680,  and  there  is  a 
faculty  of  nineteen  instructors. 

Considerable  liberty  is  now  allowed,  pupils  in  the  selection  of 
studies  fro]n  the  various  courses  of  the  High  School.  With  the  ex- 
ception of  two  years  of  mathematics,  and  a  certain  amount  of  English 
and  history,  the  subjects  are  elective.  The  following  are  the  courses 
as  provided  for  at  present: 

A  Business  Course  of  two  years  which  includes  bookkeeping, 
Commercial  Geography,  Commercial  Law,  Commercial  Arithmetic, 
and  English. 

An  English  Scientific  Course  which  includes,  in  addition  to  the 
mathematics,  history,  and  English  of  other  courses,  all  of  the 
sciences  usually  taught  in  a  High  School. 

A  German-English  Course  which  provides  for  four  years  of 
German. 

A  Latin-English  Course  which  provides  for  four  years  of  Latin, 

A  Classical  Course  which,  in  addition  to  the  four  years  of  Latin, 
provides  for  Greek. 

Vocal  music,  free  hand  and  mechanical  drawing,  and  manual 
training  are  taught  by  specialists. 

For  every  study  completed,  the  pupil  is  given  a  certain  number 
of  credits.     A  study  pursued  through  the  entire  year  with  five  recita- 


12  Springfield  High  School. 

tions  a  week,  has  a  value  of  four  credits.  A  study  that  can  be  com- 
pleted in  one-half  year  has  two  crcflits.  Thirteen  credits  are  required 
in  the  first  year's  work  and  seventeen  for  each  of  the  next  three  years, 
making  a  total  of  sixty-four  credits  to  be  made  in  four  years.  It  is 
possible  for  pupils  to  make  more  than  the  required  number  in  a  year. 
]\Ianual  training,  music,  and  drawing  are  given  one  or  two  credits 
each  year,  depending  upon  the  number  of  recitations  per  week  in 
the  subject. 

The  standard  of  vocal  music  has  been  raised  very  considerably 
above  what  it  was  a  few  years  ago.  This  is  due  to  the  instruction 
given  in  this  subject  in  all  the  grades  of  grammar  schools,  and  in  the 
High  School  by  a  special  teacher  of  music.  Fifteen  years  ago,  very 
few  boys  could  be  fo\ind  in  the  High  School  who  were  able  to  read 
music.  Today  nearly  all  of  the  boys  and  girls  read  music  very 
readily,  and  now,  with  comparatively  little  effort,  vocal  music  of  a 
high  order  is  rendered  at  High  School  entertainments. 

The  following  are  the  names  and  time  of  service  of  those  who 
have  filled  the  position  of  High  School  Principal  since  the  organiza- 
tion of  the  school:  Beaumont  Parks,  1857,  one  year;  Andrew  M. 
Brooks,  1858,  one  year;  George  W.  Tourtellot,  1859,  one  year;  An- 
drew M.  Brooks,  1860-1805;  William  Baker,  1865-1868;  Benjamin 
C.  Siicsserott,  1868-1869;  Edwin  P.  Frost,  1869-1872;  Andrew  M. 
Brooks,  1872-1874;  F.  E.  Feitshans,  1874-1883;  J.  H.  Collins,  1883- 
1888;  William  Helmle,  1888-1899;  L.  M.  Castle,  1899  to  the  present 
time,  1902. 

The  following  are  the  names  of  teachers  who  rendered  most  efficient 
service  for  a  term  of  years :  Misses  Sophia  Chapin,  Jennie  E.  Chapin, 
Mary  J.  Howard,  Emma  F.  Jones,  !Maggie  E.  Muir,  Mrs.  P.  A. 
Baird,  Mrs.  'Mary  Feitshans,  Mr.  E.  E.  Darrow,  Misses  Emily  A. 
Hay  ward,  Mary  A.  Anderson,  Mary  H.  Kuhl.  Miss  Emma  F.  Jones 
has  the  distinction  of  having  been  connected  with  this  school  longer 
than  any  other  teacher. 

The  first  class  Avas  graduated  from  the  High  School  in  1861, 
and  had  three  members.  The  total  number  of  graduates  is  1232.  The 
diplomas  of  854  of  these  have  been  signed  by  Mr.  J.  H.  Collins,  as 
Principal  of  the  High  School,  Hxe  years,  and  Superintendent  of 
Schools,  fourteen  years. 

Many  of  the  prominent  citizens  of  this  city  are  graduates  of  this 
institution  and  many  otlicrs  living  in  various  parts  of  the  country 
received  the  benefits  of  its  instruction.     Nearly  every  one   whose

name  appears  as  an  ahimnns,  is  a  useful  member  of  society.     Very 
few  have  proven  to  be  failures  in  life. 

The  High  School  has  been  called  the  "People's  College,"  and 
rightly  so,  because  it  is  an  institution  whose  benefits  are  conferred 
upon,  and  its  privileges  open  to,  the  children  of  the  poor  and  rich 
alike.  Here  all  meet  upon  a  common  plane,  and  receive  the  same 
training  which  fits  for  citizenship  and  the  duties  of  life.  This  school, 
on  account  of  what  it  has  been,  as  well  as  what  it  promises  to  be,  is  an 
institution  in  wliich  the  citizens  of  this  city  take  a  great  interest 
and  which  they  cheerfully  support.  May  it  continue  to  be  the  pride 
of  all,  by  doing  that  work  tliat  will  best  fit  for  right  living  and  useful 
service.
